-court Frenchman his Perkins is there to help red guard Falzon - Brown almost came up with a steal, but you and that should give that young rookie some confidence to make that first shot.

He had eight points in the first

game

and ten rebounds. Matt Doherty has already established himself in this

game

, you can see it right there. Georgetown will give Daugherty the shot early in the game to show he can do it. Georgetown came into this tournament shooting over 63% for the country guy trying to follow his own shot. Jimmy blocks a today before Jordi hasn't been shooting. Well, in the final four, Nance is fantastic when it comes to speed. That's for Hancock and a rebound of 20. Jimmy Black hit the floor under the basket. No, Splatt Black has been pitching very well in this tournament and it was not a smart play on his part.

James Worthy won't be intimidated by that kind of goal, Ken, because the ball was obviously in the way, and he was furious right under the basket. Does that shot show you how high in the air he got it? Seven feet, the price of pennies in Cambridge. messages underrated playmaker here is the

court press Eric Smith he can play defense he was second in assists on the team and he wanted assists that was Jordy what pressure from Smith look at Smith he is very tough defensively he takes it to Jordan where the zone is down now Hancock is much more aware of another man, a man, Perkins and Harris Ewing had to come out on purpose to pull another rebound to Eric, passed to Hancock, traveled to the ball, surprise, Chloe, Georgetown, has been a man so early, more like displays of different looks, there's John Thompson still in the two-two-one with a little bit of full-court diamond pressure, but he hadn't bothered North Carolina yet.

I hope these teams have great guys. John Thompson has worked with his young club all year. Two turnovers against North Carolina during his plane remarkably well both teams are very close here is the shilling again, he was not getting that shot against took 4.6 to Georgetown now with Ewing back there is a two on one, let's see how North Carolina North tries to carry it out. 43% of the tournament goes to Perkins, who scored 25 points and 10 rebounds in that victory against Houston, which was saved by Perkins and almost stolen that time by Fred Brown. Here's James Worthy Thompson, trying to make the refs work a little, but you can.

Don't block those kind of shots against the most valuable Perkins when you're standing right at the basket because the balls are going to come down quickly and there you see, boy, he's getting there, although worthy is challenging him so far. Georgetown will do it. the lead of two points 6 of 16 45 remaining in the first half Ed Sprague has registered has a basketball rebound Jordan tries to break the face and an excellent game arrives on Saturday that gives him the pillars here with Pat Ewing he had 5 points and 7 rebounds in that victory they got on Saturday he is 26 years old a co-captain of Georgetown here he is black what a matchup this is going to be Floyd and black all night Perkins very far away for the rebound era of the center Sleepy Floyd lost it to Jimmy Black At this point both teams are undecided on what they would like to do.

You can see the nervous energy coming out here in the Superdome. You will see the action. Jimmy Black, the reason he didn't come back. Next, the ball still had to pass, but how good was his body control if Georgetown tipped the ball out of bounds, he reset it at 16:05. New rule in college basketball, but this year it had not come into play as much, but both feet. and the ball has to be over half the court so you're in a defensive situation Perkins brings it back from the Bronx here's more here's the zone now you can see right there Ewing in the middle it's a big zone with you there Many times , while the best are spread out right now doing the work of rebounding followed by runaways, it was a good decision for Brown to try to make.

It is the first one? John just a moment ago, with the wind moving his arms, he was not happy with his team's third turnover. has already committed to this game in the 1534 Mark Anthony Jones will now register a freshman from Washington DC Brown and handed the ball over will review Jones had four points and three rebounds in that win against Louisville when Strakes enters the game. It really makes this pressure difficult because it's so big that you have a hard time throwing the ball. You still have Ewing at the end. There is a balloon. North Carolina missed three straight shots from the field.

They are two of seven. They shot 59% in his hand. but they are the only team so far in this final four that has shot better here in the Superdome since the tournament began. The great help of Eric Smith. The festival allowed them all to enter without losing their presence at this time, but Georgetown played great defense. Floyd came up and the reason it wasn't a 10 goal is because the ball we're going to have a timeout 14:52 to end the game from the Superdome a two point lead for Georgetown this is the way Georgetown destroyed the West with its 16-point margin of victory over Wyoming, Fresno State and Oregon State, the event will be broadcast immediately on Saturday, on the other hand, North Carolina, which left the East region, were the main favorites, its main victory over James Madison, Alabama and they beat Houston, surprises in this ball game that people haven't really done. he took the ball away from anyone Ewing is doing a good job taking up all that space as always in the middle Buzz Peterson number 22 a bracelet has been registered there he is with a basketball here is Doherty there is that extremely active zone Riggs coming out to play 25 feet away from him - that's really versatility to have your two men stop being so agile to jump at you.

The joy of North Carolina, good patience, trying to tie this ball game, a good pass, the pumpkins chugging that time Perkins challenged him. Perkins did challenge him, but he was a little has not been accepted for the dunk is a beautiful fish here for worthy when he takes Ewing there to be busy Perkins comes in straight takes a body blow Perkins would go to the line a brilliant play that he had in Saturday's action 25 points 10 rebounds he has been shooting from the free throw line percent of the tournament boy look, that's why this entire North Carolina team has been Billy, they are shooting above their staff of the regular season, they're playing very tight right now and I'm sure Dean Smith recognizes that the basketball people were here over the weekend after Saturday's game and most of them felt like they were long overdue Hank, I've been the rest in that game, the most tenacious defense of few teams.

Never seen in Final Four action, it wasn't artistic, but it was intense. Anthony and Georgetown, after those missed free throws, jumped to an eight to give a dirty accent to Jimmy Black, that's a very significant car there with Ewing when he goes up there to try to reject these shots, now he has to be a little more careful because if they're going to say it's tight and they look like goalies most of the time, they've been that ball head hit against the backboard and it was falling and he. Might as well miss the point. I'll tell you one thing: he's not shy.

Six-foot-eight-inch Eric Smith handles the ball extremely well. There we go, chicken twigs all over the floor, turnovers against Carolina. Brett Brown is going to check it out. He comes back in and Eric Smith will take a breather. North Carolina has not put the ball in the hole. They have had three goal calls. That's how they made their point. They are playing very tentatively so far. I see Joyce downs leaving the area. of the game that looks much more positive 13:22 to reach the ten six lead first, I should say 12 six lead at the 13 mark 11 North Carolina under Dean Smith has never won the

championship

game the fourth time they have been in this. championship game Michael Jordan good pass to Perkins Ewing got a part Thompson really tries to work none want Patrick was just the freshman who got this curve going down no doubt them for attacking the other Jones led this team in steals you can see what aware that he has an incredible Freddie Brown, he is surprising in this sense, until the end, that dizzying speed is great speed in the hands and tremendous anticipation for a player, he said, a street kid from the Bronx in New York, Dean Smith, its the best record ever in this game 31 and 215 wins in a row almost eight minutes have passed without a ball going through the net, as you pointed out, Gary, which is a very unusual tentative game, it's out of North Carolina , let me get back to the ball game. they have a substitution, well for the first time actually, Bill Martin will shoot, Ewing will come out now, what do you think John Thomson will say to Patrick Ewing?

Well, I think he'll just calm Patrick down. He has been a tremendous force in this game so far. I mean, he didn't even talk to him as he walked past him. I think he's happy with the way he's playing Patrick and his team is looking very positive right now. Let's move on to zone two-three with a four-point lead out of bounds. to the Hoyas 1210 to go this is for the NCAA championship red brown out to sleep employed Boyd in the tournament 22 points against Oregon State his best effort in almost those offensive interferences from Bill Martin has taken the bar to the defense and not by no simple and quick coincidence in the game and that is the first field goal they scored that was not awarded by the goalie, he takes it to Brown Sleepy Floyd crossed the double team caught that time Floyd gives it up 14 to 10 leaves it out to Jordan to Dougherty, now let's see if Worth comes into the game, what really starts off well for those tricks, is the big man he's also with in the Washington DC area.

You see Jones' six lick outside, so this tells us a pretty good size in the experience of him. Team size is where the inside shoots the ball, you see John Thompson has Ewing and Eric is ready to come in again, you just want to give them a little ball, there's Briggs, stabilizing the leverage, it's 16:12, Georgetown Briggs asked out, he's a little tired at the moment, he had the great game on Saturday also here there are worthy points this year with an average of only 15 3, but Billy's stats don't really show how good he is. That is interesting.

John Thompson walking down the court with Freddie Brown trying to give instructions and still staying within his bench area. Boy, he's worked hard to maintain his composure and his team has so far gone back 950 by the end of the first half. Floyd is 3-for-4 from the midfielder in this game. Here's the American Gastonia consensus against Gastonia in the last two shots and it's getting better. to jimmy black so far, who has been outstanding both against Granger and then beating the sleepy Floyd, 7 of 8 from the free throw line and in the final stretch it was an important factor for him to return to the court tonight shooting from outside and Again, good Georgetown defense with John Thompson, the back stand there, looking at it.

Thompson wants wide pressure on the ball. Perkins brings it up coming from one side, he had to field a man there and turned the other direction. the time you stay in town you realize it's worth it and floyd chase each other now to a point production of perkins little b

georgetown

ball one of the things everyone has been talking about at the dome is perception of depth in the shot, we also noticed that there is It's a problem sometimes in the walk we saw that in that particular Louisville game Georgetown University he was one of the referees anyway in this ball game that we played in more than 11 minutes and it has been a physical game Anthony Jones Kradic, who registered in the youth events.

North Carolina has produced so much this year, with the starting five producing even eight percent of their offense coming into this game tonight, you're going to have to ask an 18-year-old pretty soon if you're going to keep it up. This is Pat Ewing, getting down to business. On the way down, I think they have all been very good decisions and not very difficult to achieve. The 18 points came to the goalkeeper and they weretied at 18. There is a double team caught by North Carolina in the first half. Radek will back down. Do not do it. They were worth eight points for Georgetown.

Nice comeback through the gate attempted by Jordan and I'm with the sleepy Floyd showing great defense. He has seen urine run and almost got a steel that will fly out of Georgetown's substitution. Ed Sprague will be back in. For the Hoyas, the one coming out of the game will be Bill Martin, the freshman who missed the shot a while ago, you know, worthy, he's not shooting that bad in this game, he's six of seven, four, four, with Pat Ewing getting a piece and North Carolina has now made its last six shots in a row from field two in a very good move to come up short instead of trying to take that to the defense which gives o-hoy a two point lead 22:18 six points in the game for Eric Smith, the co-captain along with Craig's man-to-man vision, Ewing out there, Perkins, Perkins is moving him away from the basket, bad again towards Perkins.Perkins from Latham New York improved a lot, good help at that time this year won about 25 and Braddock almost got in trouble with Floyd on him.

I think the referee discovered that the ball was tilted and there is an arc above us. We wait only for the second fault and we have 652 to continue in his first half even though Jimmy Braddock did nothing, that will show statistically. I thought he ran the club pretty well when he came in there and that's what gay Smith was asking for a few minutes to spell that Jimmy Black Bill got. to get to his assistant along with Dean he spent 21 years he has been in search of an NCAA championship title right now his team is down by two worthy of this praise playing hard with him worthy loves isolating you beautiful pass to Jordan that changed of hands couldn't get didn't get a part of that, has upset Jordan's shot for the second time tonight, you see it right here.

It is worth trying to cut the back door with a small jet. Jordan had already blocked, he had to use his left hand. Ewing gets a piece now. worthy comes down and grabs the arm substitution crunchy crust is checking rust number 45 Perkins will check on mark 639 Blackwell's deception Jimmy Black let the ACC one assist this year take it to Jordan 18 points in Saturday's game how about ? Ewing increases the help from under the basket now we have a small trap in the zone played notable 14 points, he has 7 of 8 field goals where he is now in the man-to-man situation China defending Rust is guilty of committing fouls let's go Let's look at that last play by James Worthy great rebounding position here is the block is not quite worthy grabs at the end just forces it towards the rim must have incredibly big hands strong hands to do it John Thompson 40 years old, the winningest coach in the history of Georgetown, four consecutive appearances in the NCAA and the steal of Buzz Peterson to challenge him on that basket, the counter is going to load.

I think the basket should count down. Good decision, so the lack of charge, but the basket is awarded. He goes back to the scale, although there you had it. Peterson had a chance with an easy steal and Fred Brown just took it away. Here is the worthy decision, there is no doubt about it. Thrown ball. Great decision from the third team's official foul now against Georgetown six. minutes for Peterson Peterson picked up by Brown Craig is playing really worthy tied is as close as he can guard him check out Cheston's work here by Eric Smith on Doherty they are right under his chin Peterson Peterson gets it right now he's gotten into his pants with Peterson and her breasts there to give his starter a break Richi has 16 points in the game sensational defense - for Spriggs against he went straight chest to chest everything is tied 22 all worthy were 16 of those 22 points Eric Smith on the move the city ​​increases to a two point lead eight points in the game because Eric passed the drive, he was intimidated by the moment mine stepped up to him and then he had to hit that long arcing shot up there.

How amazing that Pat Ewing can roam the field, he never seems to be out of position, now some substitutions were going to come out of the game Sam Perkins, we're looking at it, which I think it was seeing Dean Smith doing with his bench. Right now it's the other day, Saturday, it was with the first five for the entire second half, there was never a substitution, he's putting them in there, now West's friendly backdoor assistant Jimmy Black comes in for the first two points of the game now for Jimmy Black and others. How worthy, the other four starters have scored two points each, so it has been worth carrying them offensively. 24 Floyd against Jordan as one of the fears that the sleepy Floyd had not managed to pass as a very difficult shot Eric Smith stayed with Peterson here is Jordan reach of Freud partially blocked covers there was inside brush receives the ball does not go down he received a bit of Armand but he got a piece that is a second breaking the 404 option to go in this first half and it is all tied 24 everything that we noticed on Saturday and also tonight that they react to the replays some of the plays they made, something that we are Watching here today will be freezing and he hasn't been on the free throw line very much. a lot this year, well he hasn't really been there 20 times, he did nine, he only hit 45 percent in June.

This young man came to college with a great reputation, but he was already injured and was never able to fight a while ago. Still not a free throat, 24 in total and North Carolina have been brilliant from the line, 0 for 3 in this game so far, going in will be worthy of a rust check, so James Worthy is back now you can imagine to Dean Smith. Keep these five starters there until halftime and let them take their rest. Press the two-on-one full-court guitar here to take a one-point lead. There are less than four minutes left in this first half.

This was recorded. Now let's get into the zone look for the sleepy Floyd trying to get open this is Smith number 22 an excellent defensive player you see the remaining time on the bottom right of the screen now what is North going to do now they are going to move away from Gene Smith and let him hold on On the side, a good release from Pat Ewing with a point lead. Ewing was six points where he had five gold tendons on the other end. Here it is worthy. I guess Ewing Jordan's people aren't aware of his tremendous ability to jump and guard. position at 6'5 is a dangerous rebounder Jordan was an excellent high school baseball player five rebounds in this game join he has to kick it this time by Ewing so as not to occupy that ball advantage less than three minutes Chavez partially blocked it Hancock put Here he comes Jimmy Black Floyd is back slowly getting up, that's the time, sit back talking to your club, we have a come on, Michael Jordan while they were stuck on the board stopping the clock at 222, Brett Brown will come in, ed Spriggs will come in , Hancock and Jean Smith, we'll review Dean Smith trying to draw a walk in violation, here you go worthy, he went up that high because he knew Ewing was coming in maybe a little higher than you would be comfortable with, here comes Jordan, As I said, a very dangerous offense.

The rebounder shifts to his left hand and picks up That was only the team's second foul against North Carolina and there was just over two minutes left in this first one. He was fouled on the shot and he still had his concentration on the follow-up. Put it in, I want it for North Carolina. Lloyd, with ten points and sixteen pounds, is one away from a shooting situation, so Carolina will enter with 204 in its first half. Dean Smith says: You know, I've never won this championship game, but there's only been two coaches in history that have been in the bottom four seven times or more, that's John who made it so good for that zone defense. with Ewing in the middle, but they've gotten him back pretty good now.

Perkins again looks intimidating at six feet. three only weighs 170 but can jump the rebound Julian was fouled a good foul by Jordan it was an easy play for Ewing the sleepy Floyd keeps a lot of pressure on the defense when he receives the ball he not only makes a great jump shot but, as we pointed out At the top of the show, he can also penetrate to the baseline and Ewing this year shoots 61% from the free throw line from the regular season man who learned to control that physical ability. A substitution that comes in for Buzz Peterson.

Jordan will check so far. in this game, if you look at John Thompson and Eric Smith, Ewing has six points, four rebounds, five Colton on a blocked shot, he covered all the bases, he was a 61% free throw shooter, he was at the line 164 times this year, yes, good shape, we were seeing before. Now look at, as you call it, good ball rotation, a lot of times a guy this size has trouble with his stock shot because his hands are so big he can never get a good feel for the ball from a ball control standpoint. the tips of your fingers. has that control in a beautiful tracking group acts like a 6 foot guard up there that's the first free throw Georgetown has had a chance to shoot in this game that shows the athletic ability of this big guy to stand at the line like 30:29 the Hoyas p1 wanted to have to go in the first half dignified catches that ball in the air and it's all over, you can't put it away we talked about dignified and Riley McRae being the two best catches of the ball I've immediately seen the game from John Thompson's words that if they were going to spread it, we would go back in, there were twigs and Ewing really made it difficult to penetrate the inside for the shot, bring it back, you see the time there.

It was a minute to get legal, look at North, come on, go get one. Now I'm talking about taking the last thing about Georgetown, but oh, they come out and just stick their chest out at you, don't they when you pick up the ball? there is a reach on the court, he goes up and down the court very well 32:29 the lead, you see the time now 26 seconds, here is the man who has been doing most of the damage and a sleepy, disgusting Floyd who really It has been his daily bread. it's right in the middle here dream point now there aren't many men in the country who can do a Pat Ewing did his thing came from 80 feet down the court to be in position to be in that fast break baqi school because he was playing right under the basket defensively, he never stops running and what makes it so difficult to keep up, you know what's interesting that Ewing can be their fastest man in some ways and they say he's worthy for North Carolina, no you do. expect big men like that to cover the distance coming out it will be black with eight seconds Sam Perkins Oh for two at the free throw line with two points there is a lot of time in this block Georgetown doesn't have to rush to get down the middle these shots go in or if they miss one and one was able to connect behind, now Perkins has the same opportunity and can cut it off.

Perkins Lee this summer worked a construction job, he said he wanted to get stronger and has done a full court. The pressure now of North Carolina trying to spend so much time getting the ball up the court is not what they could choose. Sleepy Floyd brings the ball onto the court and then presents it. Don't let them get into position to shoot. do it again, it's only four team fouls, so they can do it again. Now what they'll do is try to go ahead and file as soon as the guy hits it too late. That will end our first half.

It's a thirty-two. The basketball championship will continue after this news from your local station, the best thing is what really surprised me. I didn't realize North Carolina was so far ahead. It's hard to believe, but I guess you have to consider the Georgetown that missed so many shots on Billy. We must keep in mind that in North Carolina the club had a great second half during the tournament, their shooting during the tournament was over 75 percent from the field and they did not have to play against the defense as you are seeing tonight. Pat Ewing has really been dominant inside and it was 11 minutes and 59 seconds on the clock before North Carolina got a turnover to go for that basket.

I think one thing that worried a lot of people was a lack situation. Well, Ewing, stay out of foul trouble. foul difficulty at halftime look, it's been Gastonia North Carolina against each other Ted that relationship right there John Tom Thompson and Pat Ewing is amazing in that sense, how much John is a part of the adventure as an individual and I think that's what we. What we're seeing here, even though he's only a freshman, he's playing a very mature ball game. North Carolina will get the ball in pretty interestingly at those spots. Eight of those shots he made in the first half were all in the paint inside the lane area to show you the good open shots and he was hitting a good percentage of shots from the baseline.

Jordy Barty stood firm inside looking for the feint, no one tried, he was surrounded by both earthquakes and Ewing, Pat Ewing, probably in that case we could have let Dougherty free himself. beforethat he really went after the ball but Daugherty could have committed a foul on two shots Spriggs commits a foul now this is what John Thompson did on Saturday he comes out with a different lineup to start the second half the two times that sprigs started in the we will play the second half, he will do it tonight, very interesting, Lady Dean Smith allows players who want to come out on this ramp before a game in the morning on the day of the game only one player comes out today, which was Matt Gordon.

He was very worried about the shot of him. He has given Carolina 32. The pressure is here. A little double team. Georgetown Brown recognizes this very well. We just took him within 12 points for the 7-foot freshman. It was a great shot. Both teams are pitching. ball over press very good miss the first time we have seen someone put it on the ball on the ground long before the 33rd Hoyas choice Michel this year simply stayed after practice and shot the ball until he recovered it again showed something the concentration maintained a sigh right at the rim it was not strange that Ewing came out here six points for Michael Jordan a minute has passed in the second half followed man to man by North Carolina Perkins is guilty of pushing inside a personal foul and Froy making that shot from the first half, the ball misses very well in that good defense by Jimmy Black, staying right with him, altering the jump shot a little.

Perkins had his hand on Ewing up there and was well penalized by officials Boyd in the In the first half he had 5 of 8 field goals out of bounds for North Carolina. Georgetown only said the points failed. Wait a minute. It could have been if he called a foul. Let's see Dean was up. He was up in arms about that. Here comes Floyd broken. Above, he is facing North Carolina. Daugherty was trying to indicate that he was very sleepy. Floyd, what's so difficult about double-teaming the club that's on the floor right now for Georgetown is that they actually have three guards out there Eric Smith, you go out and play That's Freddy Brown's way to be the guy who can receive passes instead of starting them all. the Brown offense is not an outstanding outside shooter, they like him to penetrate inside and here he is with the ball now indicating the offense good patience now for Georgetown Eric Smith out to the sleepy Floyd that rebound without any problem but with Ewing it's everything. contested off the board, he's on his back and he can do it with those long arms and he's three to four inches tall.

Vantage Springs shows how hard they work defensively. Look at only nine out of 43 is an interesting statistic. look how he improves in this game 35 34 North Carolina with the advantage Eric Smith out Floyd had to change his shot preach and for Chile Smith to brown Perkins takes him out of there nothing to do here Jimmy Black comes in again almost resealing the ball Eric starts to take control within 14 points for Ewing 36 35 Georgetown in the lead Oh, is it difficult on the boards? He goes back 17:20 leaving black to be worthy because the one that looked good was full, you could hear the grunts down there. under the backboard on that last rebound chance in which Ewing put his hands on the ball three or four times before putting it in, he was brown with the foul, well, Carolina number one that has not yet been decided, all the Carolina players They are bent over with their hands on their knees right now that is usually a sign that the kids are very, very tired this is where the Georgetown bench can come help them see the Carolina players bent over with their hands on their knees the substitution both freshmen Bill Martin and Anthony Jones enter the mark 17 15 Dougherty shows it to Jordan Daugherty was very bent while waiting in bounds on the maximum Perkins now rotate around Jordan, he hit one here before and He's going to try another one and he made a foul.

That basket would have counted and they would have gone in as freshmen. It's nothing strange in this ball game, he takes the ball inside and penetrates. I think North Carolina has to find a way to get some offensive production. Perkins, Ford's only leader at halftime and had failed. Shooting here on the line will be Jordan from Wilmington, North Carolina. He was talking about that shot drop in a billion shots. ATT extra shots out of practice because it's a

1982

year. Walter Davis had a drop shot at 77, so they shot 77 shots. after practice that got him back on track he has seven points in this game, the first wall today dissented from that tournament at 77 with a broken index figure, so he had some sort of excuse, well that's the year he many people feel that Dean Smith had the best.

Lagarde ball club was injured Davis was injured Ford was injured after that basket it is 37:32 North Carolina with a one-point lead 16:57 ago there is Martin Martin mr. company shots in the first half and he lost his composure a bit. It will be outside of North Carolina when Billy Martin enters the ball game, allowing Worth to get loose and help Perkins inside, they are going to force. Martin to show that he can make a shot from outside Jones is one of the three two one four to steal for worthy loaded with 10 points tries to open the break new boy Ewing was close he changed the shot I'm trying to commit the foul but it was in vain who made the plate Pat Ewing beautiful backdoor cut ol' Blind Pig plays a wide lead for North Carolina look where they get in the air from the black it's like money in the bank when you throw the ball to that guy in the air he just takes it down and there are more than 16 minutes left to finish surprised that they are not worthy now he has Billy Martin in E marked at 6 7 giving up a couple of inches Perkins Thompson is not happy, the twigs will come back in for Here we see Georgetown overhead , but you can hear the big guy coming to the hockey and Jimmy Black tries to pick him up in a short jump, he's not there and here comes Jordan again, we said, a very dangerous offensive rebounder, what a horrible feeling.

It has to be Billy to know that the urine is going down here. He's one of the best running backs for a big man I've ever seen in basketball and I think that's one of the assets he has, a lot of people weren't the case. on that rebound Sam Perkins 41:30 they don't play Floyd Floyd cut on the baseline two twigs Eric Smith worthy of the speed of James Worthy now Fred Brown will come in and Jones will come out Jones and Martin who came in To give the starters a break, now They return from the game.

We played more than five minutes in the second half. Carolina has a three-point lead and they are watching from the top of the Superdome. There are 14 minutes and 57 seconds left in this game. North Carolina has a three-point lead Gary Vander Laan with Billy Packer as Dean Smith trying for the first time to win the NCAA title how many teams find out they used it well? I think what we'll see from Gary is that they've been benching for the The rest can use the timeout for their team's legitimate press because he'd like to keep this first five there the rest of the way.

Gorton walks the court like you mentioned. Georgetown can't afford to fall behind and pick off North Carolina. that delays games 14 points for the sleepy guy here comes the pressure 40 Jordan in this game Billy is the leader in rebounds he had 7 and he had at least two of those he scored again to score on the offensive end, he is worthy of a big game. Springs Briggs tried to help the head time officer by claiming that he was not worthy, but he was not. Springs was pushed for worthy yet he was fast enough to see Sailor push him, he got away with a foul and Springs was still fast enough to get there.

I've had eight lead changes, there's a steal that was a tempting shot that ultimately fell to 16 points for Ewing and now we have our nightly lead change of the game with a one-point lead for the Hoyas before I play both ends of the court looking for twigs. out there unworthy against Perkins who is going to challenge that's what I talked about at the beginning of the game that Perkins could occupy Ewing if they give him the ball makes him play honest 20 points now for worthy playing outstanding basketball 43 42 North Carolina was not a good defense that time for North Carolina you want to go after that ball if he leaves it that close to swing back and forth 1310 left in the game Ewing coming out to poker look at him Billy stay with me they need a timeout right now their guys are getting very city big and tired with the lead that can increase you are not going to make a three-point play possibility of it coming up the players are getting tired Abby Smith putting Peterson you inside looking for that ball given a good goal keeping your hands up Perkins goes with him and When you move that wrist down, you commit a foul.

Ewing with a chance for the triple. Great camera work, you can see the rotation of the ball. Ewing this year averaged only 12 and a half points per game, but he has 18 tonight to go with 7 rebounds he receives that ball the little massage but a basketball player and he is only a freshman John Thompson is brought in he knows free throws has the tip of the ball five defensive players who had hit under the back boy 47-43 here is Peterson the man you mentioned who came in for lack of a step that they missed in that pencil Blake here is Perkins shooting outside cuts him in two big breaks for North Carolina sleepy Floyd really mad at himself for missing out Floyd is really showing why it was a consensus - Americans as it should be are living up to all the expectations they've had all year it's a failure for black blacks trying to stay with Boyd in some way look at him discuss the situation there is mutual respect the little temper goes well there, Jimmy Black, as we said, had a great game against Granger, there he pushed him.

Oh, up, boy, he won't be intimidated. You can count on that first time coming back with a little nudge from his own third-team foul on the North Carolina blacks. wide a little closer the defensive pressure Floyd is open not to double team the ball and leave the sleepy Floyd alone again to a four point lead now for Georgetown 1155 to sound Peterson this is fluoride essere save him it's about Fred Brown Momentum's moody, abused sleepy kid saw this play before seeing it again on the big screen and they're just enjoying it too. Gastonia North Carolina, that is, there, the same church they didn't attend, the same high school they knew one year in the state. championship finals the scoreboard comes into focus 11:41 left Georgetown with a lead of 4947 worthy of that magnificent play from a while ago asset lawyer, his career high of 22 points and when it's over I don't think there will be any air left for the stadium You know, it's interesting, we made the comparison and talked about the two Gastonia kids, but sleepy Floyd wasn't a highly recruited player his senior year of high school, while James Worthy was wanted by everyone in the country since his sophomore year. in college and yet they both turned out to be all-American, an interesting story opportunity for this three-point play for the worthy Jerilyn has been doing a lot of TT, I've been killing them, is that sleepy Floyd doesn't handle the boss, so he's always away from the double team to be in a shooting position and he really gets away from the ball, isn't that Eric Smith? now the Jordans join the path to the ball they blame, yes he did it.

The championship is great at transition play, they can go from offense to defense. Eric Smith was there waiting for the pass and that's why Jordan took his eye off that. Ten turnovers now against North Carolina. 11 12 left in the game Doherty coming out nearest bricks bricks handles the ball a six foot nine mousou man have great confidence in that ability perkins playing worthy twigs now in Ewing catches up to Jimmy Black trying to keep Floyd's dream in him missing Jordan crossing was creating things inside Floyd when he has the ball he penetrates and when he doesn't have the ball he compensates wonderfully to get the open jumpers second foul on Michael Jordan fourth there's Ewing and Floyd the one-two Worth has been leading the way for North Carolina again Jordan with those 10 points is the leader in rebounds 49 48 Ohio with the LOB advantage they have for Ewing Worth is really working hard, but he is doing it much more openly his Eric Smith for Eric Smith 51 48 - Jordan Springs highlighted his good defensive coverage and still did it.

It's amazing what freshmen can do. A few years ago, the freshmen were not eligible for the varsity game and they definitely came out and are the stars of the game that North Carolina is going. back to their 2-1 matchup zone Jordan, the fourth freshman in Dean Smith's tenure, North Carolina to start the first game, you can see why the North Carolina players are quiet defensively, there is no pressure on the ball, they are very, very tired and you are sleepy, Floyd goes straight to the zone. 9:40 five left in the game. Eric Smith on the move because the crowd and him.

I do not think thatThat hairstyle is going to be popular very soon. North Carolina players seem worth hanging out with. losing some resilience in his leg Georgetown a lot of pressure going to that deep bench where they committed that vile thing that is their first personal Smith on the line you know what's good about this game Billy so far no foul difficulty both teams can really go after the other referees do a good job 67% of free throw shooters have 13 points John Thompson, the ever-present owl John Thompson was a high school coach, a player named Donald Washington passed away and he was a player that Dean Smith recruited and so on It's how they started their friendship and of course at 76 in 15 seconds he just did it and almost got past Jimmy Black to be able to have the presence of passing that ball over the half court line because it was very close in 10 seconds and that will be against Brown, his fourth personal worth will return as Smith tries to save those timeouts.

The Smith gene will come in and replace him. We have to get Brown out of there with the four personnel never in total. How worthy in Hancock we are like pushing trying to compete for a position right where he was trying to take a position on the court. Hancock approached and tried to stop him from walking. Nichols talked to him and said, guys, let's take it easy. Team Smith is there, he's a defensive standout, they put him in there to pick up the defensive tempo replacing Brown at the 9:30 mark of this game for Georgetown. He in his newcomer got Hancock very fresh and had Jean Smith fresh with the start here, clear in the defensive zone playing defense, you have time left.

Smith now picks up Jimmy Black and Smith can't play defense and took Freddie Brown's foul sniff, picking up cheap fouls, ties things up. in the team foul situation is that the six are the six Billy one and one one more and they will be shooting free throws Carolina has five team fouls, they are very good at not getting into that one on one situation in Nichols and we are Now No, they are in the bonus with 911 remaining and three fouls in a matter of seconds and all very far from the basket. Very cheap touches from the lads he came off the bench to put a bit of defensive pressure on, but Hancock picked. that fall with a small altercation that made the game worthy a while ago with 23 points from the free throw line, but Jordan Garden's rebounding has simply been outstanding on the boards.

Hoyas 850 left in this game: Shake Jimmy Black loose on a man. Jump between Perkins and Ewing early, that's exactly what they did. Arguing that it's a big ball, that John has to be careful here, he has to be careful, be careful, he loses possession of the ball here, so don't there is a foul on Gate D. Instead, Georgetown gets the timeout with 827 left. Carolina took the lead a moment ago and we. I'm going to show you a great pass from Rosco beyond the 40, receiving the ball one play before him. I actually knew he was going to pass that ball before he caught it and it's worthy and there was no chance for Ewing.

I'm late. Now check out the shell casings and shopping as we return to live action. Jimmy is trying to prepare defensively for this play inside the Georgetown field with a one-point lead. Now both teams want to make sure they have the matchup, I thought, North. Carolina probably showed a lot more zone now, but they're still there, man to man. Jordan playing hard with Fred Brown's backhand Brown playing with four personal fouls, the only point for your 5,554 spectators with steel minutes left in the game. taunting him with that black twenty one ball and floyd against each other on a dignified foul on twigs he was a starting center a year ago you gotta give him a lot of credit can you imagine what it feels like going into your senior year? as the starting starting center, knowing that a guy like Ewing is drafted and you will have to take a lesson role and instead of putting your head down, stay with the team with great leadership and accept that role to make Ewing an even better player . and has taken on that responsibility and practice to push three, it is still Georgetown, Amman 5554, seven minutes and forty seconds left in this championship game, the specifications shown are considered worthy, that is the second in James Worthy, the sixteen se Tilt one more and they'll be shooting.

The bonus, what's so interesting here, is that you have to train the clubs very well, that they stick to their offense, when you realize that things wear down a little bit. clubs that are well taught, as these two teams return to basic fundamentals Buzz Peterson reviewing at the end of the year, North Carolina's loss to Indiana sixty-three to fifty, their average marginal loss has been about twelve points, but this It's been a back and forth one point game, twigs, spragues, 68% free throw shooters only got to the line 44 times this year. Riggs can give them a two-point lead 56 54 the pressure of the Hoyas I have taken a long time to pick up this ball, they are in a hurry and find Peterson while Peterson looks with a pistol worthy of the top of Georgetown that was Smith came again from back, with no defensive respite until North Carolina landed at the 7:25 mark.

Both teams' 130 games this year are best records. Dean Smith's tenure in the best record in Georgetown history the last time they were in the finals in 1943 they like to keep that pressure space with the man and the man it's not a good pass it's not a good extended pass saved him in boy the agility of the hairless something to say Jimmy Black that's ten turnovers against your city like Peterson we will check it Jordans 23 returns to the game, there is Denny Crum, he had a great performance from his team here on Saturday, you mentioned the intensity of that game, 1880, won it all, here's your chance, now, on this trip down the field, to tie this game. up there are 644 left in him one two look at the geek that's all that's his third another and obviously it would change the complexion offensively what John Thompson wants to do, he's going to talk to him and he taught him well, you don't get to the final four if you're not worthy and that applies to all the teams that have been here, excellent comeback performance by Houston here on Saturday, plus you are down 14 to zero, you think they are throwing away the talents, but they have recovered 3 of 5 from the line they had the opportunity to tie, sometimes you get to the championship game and it doesn't work out the way you think, but this is something, it's not great for North Carolina teams, but with these three Smiths.

Brown and Sleepy handle that pressure very well. This game has been tied eight times. Red Brown is trying to work to say buy yarn. With the good hands, they see that they are going to give the opportunity to Fred Brown, therefore, it is difficult for him to feed Ewing because Jordan is. I'm going to go back there for the outside shooting ability. I can see why D Smith says they were the fastest players they had. He couldn't remember Gary. He's dribbling the ball, those guys are running without the ball and he. beat them on the court, I mean it's a little different here in a foot race and you're running without the ball, the other guy has to keep up with the ball, he's six nine and I walk a career-high 20 27 points from James Worthy and him trying to add to that at the 604 mark, how can you draft a guy who only averages 15 points a game but just fits in where he's needed?

Here is an example. 28 tonight basketball is a team game, again he lacks rebounds and rebounds tonight and he came in again with another offensive rebound 5756 four corners this is half of the four corners with 41 left to go you have to be careful he has three rows simple black Perkins almost lost it Jhansi made a great time here because Patrick Ewing is so aggressive, he tries to chase his four corners and goes to pick up the main files. Foul difficulty. You think North Carolina will go. They just continue with what they are doing. I think they will spread it in what they call their 4c offense.

I have to go back to 1977. I got the lead on Marquette and they tried to go ahead and put it in all four corners. Marquette stayed back as a passive zone and let the clocks go down a little bit and doing that with North Dakota one day. They ran Marquette finally took control of the game, but we really have a coaching clinic going on right now, the players at all four corners Dean Smith outline exactly what they want to do execution-wise, making sure no one tries to make the play spectacular that you saw on that side.

He does some time in Albuquerque, that's where the NCAA Final Four will be held next year. Look at this old newspaper article about the last time Georgetown was in the Final Four and one of the things that was funny is just an oversized guard. down Dean Smith now in a pretty good situation a one point lead four fouls on the back Ewing and the way they can position the ball started to maybe have that momentum shift a little bit in his favor black on the line two points he's got six assists in this game, you may remember Matt Villanova's play in the East region, finally at Genesis, he ranks second only to Phil Ford's all-time system list at North Carolina, he had over 500 assists in his career and now Porton's free kicks are 73% free. -one-on-one pitcher the first time I saw Pat Ewing look at the clock, he normally concentrates entirely on a three-point lead in the game, now there is still five and a half minutes left, here is the black double team. by Brown Pepe's boys go to Floyd Eric Smith Jordan backing up you said they let him shoot the ball before big man, a man towards Ewing, that's three on James Worthy, it was a great play by Freddy Brown, who hasn't been shooting as much.

You'll see the play inside you, he falls a little short on this jump shot, good technique, good follow-through, there's Brown, a great guy, a great call from the referees and, in addition to a super championship game, we would have to say that this is the best officiated games of this caliber that I have seen in a long time now they are shooting free throws 17 fouls two points for Brown, who is not a very good free throw shooter during the regular year, shot 63% is a brave player and now he can reduce it to one point we gave him the MVP award 59 58 Georgetown is eight of nine from the free throw line we have not been there they have taken advantage of it I am here inside your line it is 13 and 18, here comes the spread What Perkins does on Ewing, Guardi and Perkins keep pushing, remember now Ewing playing with four personnel, minutes and 45 seconds left in the game, one point lead for Carolina North Carolina looking for a back layup here it was in 1957, this offense , TRUE?

Now the guy who seems to be a little shaky is Michael Jordan because he's catching the ball, putting it on the floor and losing his dribble, then picking it up and the overplay that everyone is doing this year is discovered in the five games only once in the tournament. it was against Oregon State, they have Ewing matched in worthy, now let's look at the exploit, we'll try to take advantage of it minutes, ten seconds left as a trademark for so long, the tension increased as we got closer and now there were exactly four minutes left in the game which started at five.

Can you see the remaining time? Another thing this does to North Carolina is it gives them a chance to get some rest since they were getting really tired. Black eyes, short rear floor, it's not there. The Carolina baseball team is coming. Smith and that gives John Thompson a chance. to get an outstanding defensive player in brown will come out of the brown ball game still may have a little problem because because of that leg that is very involved so now Smith is at 335 left both teams in one and one, both coaches have kept their timeouts very Well, remember this, the next hail would go to Georgetown and he has 14 points, ten of them in the second half of the game 6158, that was just incredible.

The shot with the left hand I understood now with the sleepy Floyd and I can't get him out of the lot. of time three minutes left in the game down by three nine Thompson looks to move on and maybe get a timeout he's trying to tell his club what to do without the timeout Carolina in the faceoff zone Georgetown only has one timeout left bill invited him to use it, he's trying to instruct his club without Floyds going to prepare for a jump shot on Jean Smith, they don't want him to shoot, he's not that good of a shooter from the outside, you're going to talk to go to 23 points for tattooing 230 Ewing with a career-high 23, it's not about black, what are collected by the twigs posted at the time? 215 Georgetown can get a little tired here because they are doing all the work right now.

Daugherty, both teams in the bonus files would send them to the line the ball from hell would go to Georgetown two minutes left 1:56 past dangerous that lazy pass across the court they are showing a catapult you saw gene Smith tried to sneak in from behind a minute 40 is now on your screen Where is Jari? He made that remarkable breakthrough a while ago. He has five rebounds left with his 14 points tonight.Kapow, you see years, is for Eric Smith. Some reach. He is quite an athlete. He started talking about basketball players who would have some potential on defense. backfield in football is one of them, he's shaking it off John Thompson looked at him to see if he wanted to stay in the game and he seems fine.

See John Thompson talking to the club about him now he doesn't want to use that timeout. Dean. Smith has quite a few left now in this ballgame. Daugherty is two for two from the line with four points. The only guy who hasn't shot perfectly from the line among the starting five is worthy. He has two out of five. This is in the second. I'm talking about the half and on the line Matt Doherty scored a great close goal in a tournament in the East region, now he's a big one on the line. Georgetown can take the lead with ten rebounds.

Eric Smith Hancock was wide open under the basket. no one saw him because sleepy Floyd will go for the jump shot if he ever faked beautifully once twice 52 seconds we suspect he's gone Georgetown will go, they're not going to go out chasing in North Carolina now they can't go to the four corners missing the shot and Dean Smith while Sam gets a notable timeout suspended in mid-air by the sleepy Floyd. You see the time remaining: 32 seconds to win the championship. Georgetown adds the lead and I can't believe this play. The sleepy boy knew he was going to take it.

He is a money player. a double fake had a guy in front, a guy behind and Georgetown getting some good rebounds now Ewing did the same thing right before, which completely changes North Carolina's offensive philosophy, they with the advantage to force Georgetown to be the man now George spam package on his own most coaches though with a timeout go ahead and change his defense just to throw the other team off, let's see if Georgetown now comes out man to man. Georgetown still has one timeout left. North Carolina has four thirty-two seconds. to take a one point lead for Georgetown, they stay in the we can't with a shot blocker like Ewing, they take a lot of time, time, look, they're sleepy, Floyd, look, James Worthy, try to take some time to calm things down, he's that one. black three straight ACC championships it's like he looked back it was a smart foul right there we got two seconds to see this NCAA basketball just kick that ball up there if it hits the rim he's in good shape even if misses the shot because Georgetown is in bad shape, foul lines, hey Eric, timeout, Eric Smith has fouled out of the game and after a turnover he suffered while trying to come back, bend and reach for a ball, Dean Smith looked to James Worthy. and he said: do this, what else?

Smith plays a fourteen-point, three-rebound game that is worthy of the man I guess he should rest on his shoulders. He had 28 points tonight and was only two of five from the free throw. It's very, very. this call from Georgetown, although I can't believe John Thompson made a call that I think Dean Smith made just to shake up the host. We call the fifth, very surprising unless John wants to just give him a talk and even they get the rebound. in these two seconds there's nothing left you can do, it's a right jump situation if the defense ignores the arrow, which I think we won't see that at all and which we might also see in this talk from Vincent if the play comes on time extra. they said about DeanSmith, he couldn't win the big one, he's two seconds away from winning the big one, he's been in the final four, all four times and the championship game, and let's watch or let's just watch and see what unfolds, the two shots intentional, obviously, it was an Intentional two shots, we never got that signal, that's where they could, they used to time you.
